The dealership took a look at my leaky rear shock absorber and declared that it was just "sweating", which is normal. I Googled the term and found several references that say that manufacturers will not warrantee a shock that is just sweating, which is a minor leak past the seal. They will...

I noticed last week that my right rear shock absorber is leaking. The left one is fine. The car is a '13 SV with 17,000 km. The "in service" date is August 2014, so only 6 months. I'll stop by the dealer this week and see what they say.

Annoyed with the grabby brakes on our '13 SV, a few days ago I simply pushed the brake pedal down as far as it would go while waiting at a red light. The grabbiness has been gone for a week now. If I have to do this every month or so, I can live with that. :D Thanks forum members!

There is another thread here somewhere that discusses the speedometer error on the LEAF. A quick summary from that thread was that the factory16 inch wheel/tire combination causes the speedometer to read high. Mine is 4% high as measured by my Garmin. The factory 17 inch wheel/tire...

It might also be one of your wheel sensors for the abs brakes. The stability system is built on top of the abs system. Try forcing the abs to kick in to see if it is working. There are other sensors, too, that the stability control system uses to control skids. I would say that it's going to...

I just downloaded the LEAF Link app. No disconnects! The only thing missing that I would like is the ability to stop charging.

This happens to me every time I use the app. Very annoying! I'm running the app on an iPad with a strong wifi signal. Sorry I can't help.

We've recently had temperatures down between -20 to -28 C (-4 F to -18F). We still have the Ecopia tires on with the air pressure set at 40 psi. Our LEAF is kept in an attached garage which stays around 0 C, so that is our normal battery temperature. Of course our range has decreased, quite a...

Thanks people. I had wondered if Nissan was using the metal that the battery pack is bolted to for additional heat dissipation. From the forum I'd read that the paint chipped easily. I ordered a nose mask for the car today to protect the front from flying grit and stones as I do 50KM on the...

I have a question for all of you experienced LEAFers. We just purchased our LEAF, a new leftover 2013 SV. I was surprised when the dealership said that they couldn't sell me an undercoating package or paint protection because the paint is "special". I plan on doing the undercoating myself...

We purchased our 2013 LEAF SV last week. It was built in November of 2012, but had remained unsold until August, so we got a good markdown. EV sales in Manitoba are sluggish due to a lack of any subsidies, federal or provincial, combined with very cold winters. We do, however, have very low...
